Tutorial Thursday December 30

A sincere thank you for your support in 2021!
I truly appreciate everyone – I couldn’t keep doing what I do without you!
Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2022!

Today I’ll do some Q&A from Tuesday’s “Creative Compositing” Webinar.

Q: Do your images originate as RAW files or JPG’s?
A: I do shoot in RAW, so that’s what I started with. Each component has typically been edited. I make JPGs for the webinars as they load quicker (even if it’s an unprocessed file).

Q: Do you ever use Smart Objects?
A: I do on occasion – I know I should use them more often! I just got in the habit of using layers for all my adjustments, so that’s how I typically work.

Q: How did you make the selection of the tree to remove all the busy background?
A: I did it in several steps using mostly the Magic Wand and targeting different areas. It worked fine for this image. However, as with most things in Photoshop, there are many ways to do everything! One viewer asked about using Channels to make the selection. I have seen it done and used the process myself once or twice. Here are a couple of videos that get into that process. The first one is from PixImperfect by Unmesh Dinda – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6I9Q-b2pQc. And another from The Photoshop Training Channel with Jesus Ramirez – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IYea3raR5s. Both guys talk a little fast, but they have great, helpful tutorials!

Q: Do you have a webinar on making watercolor textures?
A: I do not have a webinar on that, but I am in the “Pre-Release” stage of my first course, “Making Your Own Textures”, which will share all my insider secrets on making textures! See further down the blog for more info and a link! Pre-Sale ends tomorrow, 12/31, so grab it now for best pricing!!

I’m planning to launch this in the 1st quarter of 2022 – stay tuned for more details very soon!

And…I want to set up an AFFILIATE PROGRAM for Meredith Images.

THREE NEW THINGS FOR EARLY 2022!

I know I’ve been talking about my course on “Creating Your Own Textures” for a while now — I’m planning to launch it by the end of January!! PRE-ORDER OPENED SUNDAY DEC. 19th!! An early Christmas gift for yourself! (See info above)

And…I’ve been thinking for a while about a “texture club” of some sort. But I wanted it to be MORE than just another “club”. I’m working on a new COMMUNITY that will not only give you exclusive products and tutorials every month, but will be a real community with a private forum for sharing ideas with other members, monthly group chat calls where you can ask questions and get answers, plus some one-on-one sessions with me! I’m planning to launch this in the 1st quarter of 2022 – stay tuned for more details very soon!

And…I want to set up an AFFILIATE PROGRAM for Meredith Images. If you write a blog of your own (or have a website where you post your work), or teach classes, seminars, etc., and would like to promote the Peacock Studio textures and products and make a commission on the sales, contact me at Hazel@MeredithImages.com.

Tutorial Thursday December 16

Today I’m going to tease you a bit with a project from next week’s webinar! I often save “inspiration” to a Pinterest board, then use them as a jumping off point for a creation of my own. Sometimes my results are similar to the inspiration piece, and sometimes it goes in a very different direction…but that’s what inspiration is all about!

If you are on Pinterest, you can follow me at: https://www.pinterest.com/meredithimages/ and then check out my Inspirations board as well as others – some photography related, some recipes, etc.
